The science on children not being significant vectors of COVID (and, by extension, school closures not being very effective) is actually reasonably well established:

That's not quite accurate, according to the article:
"“While school closure as a measure on its own is predicted to have a limited effectiveness in controlling Covid-19 transmission, when combined with intense social distancing it plays an important role in severing remaining contacts between households and thus ensuring transmission declines.”"

> Switzerland actually started reopening with haircuts and manicures.
I've been saving a ton of money without going for dye jobs, highlights, root melt and cut every other month, monthly esthetician and biweekly manicures.
I'm almost considering growing out my greys during this, although would be subject to ageism in my industry so sort of on the fence for now.
Certainly pressure from groups representing hairdressers was a big part of it, but the justification they use is that contact tracing can be done reliably in such a situation.
Keep in mind that they also want to reopen schools, citing dubious claims about children not contributing much to the spread, staying silent about the likely true motivation (sending the parents back to work).
